Too bad, indeed.

As another example, I did a test using a Kindle book with lots of images, Better Homes and Gardens 13x9 The Pan That Can: 150 Fabulous Recipes. The product description for this book shows it as having 307 pages and taking 114MB.

Downloading it using "Download & transfer via USB" yields a 20MB AZW3 file. It contains 173 image files with the largest being 128KB.

Downloading the same book using Kindle for PC yields a combined 114MB KFX file. It also has 173 images, but the largest is 2MB (about 16x larger).
Thanks for the details on how extreme it can be.

I think you have also written before that K4PC configured to download KF8 yields images in between.
